: -metal textures, phosphoranolivine, and origin Ed Scott University of Hawai’i, Honolulu, HI 96822. [email protected]

Four questions: 3. Origin of the four FeO-rich MG pallasites 1. Why do some pallasites have rounded ? 2. Why is phosphoran olivine only found in five main-group pallasites? 3. Why do four main group pallasites with rounded olivines contain abnormally Fe-rich olivine? 4. Where did main group and pallasites form?

Origin of rounded olivine Did cm-sized rounded olivines form before angular olivines [9], or were olivines rounded after Fig. 5. , Springwater, Rawlinna, and Phillips Co. fragmentation of olivine [2.3,7]? Constraints: contain anomalously Fe-rich olivine, Ni-rich metal, and • Uniform size distribution of rounded olivines in farringtonite Mg3(PO4)2 [20] suggesting Fe was oxidized.

Sp: Springwater, TM: Thiel Mountains. Adapted from [2]. Ball, Arizona State Univ. • Rounding is bimodal: either micro-rounding in c solid metal or macro-rounding in molten metal (Fig. 2). Since Springwater lacks pyroxene, Davis & Olsen [19] Conclusion: Brenham-like texture with cm-sized suggested that farringtonite formed from O and P from metal rounded olivines is the primary texture. and Mg from olivine: 3Mg2SiO4 + 6Fe + 4Pmetal + 8O2 = 2Mg3(PO4)2 + 3Fe2SiO4 Note: Not all rounded olivine, low-Ir MGP have farringtonite.

Conclusions

1. Cm-sized rounded olivines formed when equant olivine crystals were immersed in molten metal at the core-mantle boundary. Angular olivine fragments formed later and were micro-rounded in solid Fe,Ni. 2. Phosphoran olivine formed in MG pallasites from trapped pockets of P-rich silicate Fig. 6. △17O vs. ɛ54Cr showing mass-independent isotopic melt [12-14]. It occurs in pallasites with rounded olivines and low-Ir metal (≤0.1 ug/g) variations in and planets.

Eagle Station group pallasites have mass-independent isotopic compositions like model [24] the two populations were intermixed in the molten metallic core [6].
